A TRADITIONAL countryside pub in Northumberland, which has previously featured on the hit ITV show Vera, has hit the market.

Set amidst the picturesque Northumberland countryside, in the village of Glanton, near Alnwick, The Queen's Head has been put up for sale with agents Christie and Co for an asking price of £450,000.

The freehold stone-built country pub and restaurant features games rooms, a beer garden and views overlooking the Northumberland countryside, said the agent.

The agent has stated that the property features four en-suite letting bedrooms, as well as a "superb" two-bedroom owner's apartment, which can also be utilised as additional letting accommodation.

The pub has previously featured in the ITV series Vera and enjoys a prime location close to Northumberland National Park and attractions such as Cragside and the Cheviot Hills, benefitting from both tourist and local trade.

Owner Lawrence said: "It has been 20 years since we bought and renovated The Queens Head. It is a beautiful family home and business at the centre of the community.

"The Northumberland lifestyle is amazing, and there is a lot of untapped potential within this area."

David Cash, a regional director at Christie and Co managing the sale, said: "The market for freehold pubs in Northumberland, especially those with letting rooms, has been buoyant.

"In 2025, we completed the sales of The Percy Arms at Chatton, The Farriers Arms at Shilbottle and The Angel Inn at Wooler, as well as many others across the wider region. We expect The Queens Head to appeal to regional, local investors and even those perhaps looking to relocate."
